Wet weather rolling into Jacksonville<\/p>\n
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 Hi everyone, this is News4JAX\u2019s meteorologist Katie Garner. I want to make sure you\u2019re ready for what\u2019s coming today because it\u2019s shaping up to be a wet one across Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
Right now, we\u2019re already seeing rain over the stadium, and heavier showers are expected to move in as the day goes on. If you\u2019re anywhere near the Deerwood Club, the town center, the Jag stadium, or on the south side, you\u2019ll want your umbrella close.<\/p>\n
Our Exact Track 4D radar is lighting up with plenty of green and yellow, showing lots of moisture pushing through. The heaviest stuff is coming in from the west, heading into Jacksonville before it makes its way to the coast. The Gulf moisture is adding to the wet weather, and I\u2019m watching it all closely for you.<\/p>\n
Dense fog complicates morning hours<\/p>\n
I\u2019m also seeing some dense fog out there this morning, which is combining with the rain to make driving conditions pretty nasty in a few spots. Some areas are seeing visibility as low as half a mile or less, so if you have to be out early, take it slow and keep those headlights on.<\/p>\n
The fog, along with the rain, means you\u2019ll want to plan ahead for your morning commute or any errands.<\/p>\n
Jaguars game day: bring rain gear<\/p>\n
For anyone heading to the Jaguars game, be prepared for a soggy Sunday. Kickoff is at 1 p.m., and it\u2019s expected to be around 64 degrees, with showers very likely during the game window.<\/p>\n
I highly recommend taking a raincoat with you\u2014you\u2019ll be glad you did. Our forecast models show a 50 to 70 percent chance of rain in Jacksonville and near the stadium around gametime.<\/p>\n
